Cleaning Re-Built Hopkins

We just finished re-building an older BWM Hopkins 6/4 with aluminum pallets, and we need to clean a heavy build-up of lint, grease, you name it, before we sell it. What's best for cutting through all this stuff?

Xylene evaporates a little slower.. giving you more time to loosen the lint and adhesive.
Both acetone and xylene are highly flammable, so be very careful.

Actually, we are using acetone in our spot gun now, I just never thought of it. Tried screen wash for some, but some this stuff is very old and tough. She'll be pretty when we're done. Thanks
